Synopsis

Jake, full of anger after his father's death, is just starting to find a place for himself at his new Orlando high school - until Ryan, head of an underground MMA fight club, picks Jake out as a prime opponent. After being trounced by Ryan in front of the entire school, Jake begins training under the firm, moral guidance of a MMA master, where he learns how to fight... and how to avoid a fight. But it becomes obvious that a rematch will be inevitable if Jake wants to stop Ryan and his bullying, once and for all.

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Brad Words cannot do this movie enough justice! Seriously, my friends and I watched this movie nearly a decade ago and we still quote it! That's just how much of an impact it made on us back then!After seeing this movie, one of my friends got heavily involved in MMA and even got some shorts with the name "Jake Tyler" on them. He ended up lasting only a few fights in MMA after a serious injury but nonetheless this movie inspired him to train towards his ultimate goal of being an MMA fighter! That's how great and inspirational this movie truly is!To give a quick rundown of what the movie is about, think along the lines of a Disney Channel Original Movie or DCOM if you're up to speed with the hype lingo. Jake - a down-and-out guy - falls in love with Baja - the pretty girl at school - who is dating this mega-MMA fighter (Ryan) at the school. Jake and Ryan become bitter rivals over time due to Baja and they FINALLY settle their feud with an MMA battle. That's all I can tell you though because I don't want to spoil the whole movie for you! Would I recommend this movie? UH DUH, YES OF COURSE. There is a reason I am giving this 10/10 stars. My friends and I LOVE this movie! Please watch this movie!
danielaustin-735-484497 Typically American popcorn rubbish. Same story done hundreds of times and this time is was worst than the last time. I don't get why they keep making films like this. Teenagers bored so they turn to fighting. One guy gets beaten up so trains with a master and then returns and gets revenge. It's not never revenge as he now has some morals, rubbish!!It's a mix of American pie, karate kid, no retreat no surrender and utter cheese!The whole thing is boring and stupid. If you need to fill in some time watch paint dry, much more entertaining. 3/10 is generous.
tom-456 What's to like about this movie? Not much, except perhaps for Amber Heard. I tried to watch this on cable, but the first problem I had was with the sound track. Without doubt one of the worst selections of music I have ever experienced, right on par with those silly movies about street racing cars. Of course teenagers have always liked these kinds of movies, about self-destructive behavior, which is all that it really is about. But when did the music get this mad, with singers singing in a style that sounds like they are just telling the world where to shove it? How sad. The theme of this movie is silly and sad. The acting is pathetic, the photography, if you can even call it that, is so bad as to lead me to think that the people operating the cameras had never used cameras before, except maybe cell phone cameras. Not the very worst movie I've ever seen, but just one more movie of a genre that doesn't offer anything of any real value. I like Amber Heard, but not nearly enough to sit through this piece of junk.
alonlain1 Well, before i start i would say i was a fat guy who never workout and all that, my weight was about 85 kilograms and about 35% of body fat, when i was 15 i watched this movie and it makes me look at life other way, i mean i've been start training hardly for a year and a half now and hell yea the result came of course now i'm 64 kilos and 9% of body fat, my life is pretty much full of training and the first motivation i've gain is this movie, so people who tell you this movie is bad or something else ignore it, when i saw this movie and the first time(i think i watched it about 10 times or even more) i started to some push up and noticed i cant do even 5, and then i saw in the movie how Mike trained hard and so i began trying harder and harder and go to the gym and start working hard, and then i start make my nutrition healthy and from there i just start to grow and get bigger, trust me this movie is a must!
